I have seen something with people with severe #tourettes and #ticdisorders that I can't seem to find any #info on that is also exhibited in myself, my mom, my brother, and relatives who may also have tic issues. #livestreamers #youtubers and videos of people with severe Tourettes and tics too:

Facial asymmetry. One eye tends to be higher than the other, the shoulder often too on the same side, and a slight lazy eye when not focused on the lower eye.

@davidaugust
let me know if you find any online #contentCreator focused servers you find, ie #vlogging #videoEssays #gameReviews #livestreamers #youtubers (*retch*) #tiktokers, #influencers ... I'd be most appreciative. especially if they make content that isn't programming,/infosec/etc focused 😅

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GvEnuOR5i6Y&t=3s I've been rewatching my vlogs from when I was at #vidcon last year (pretty much the best and only convention for #contentCreators #livestreamers #youtubers #tiktokers etc) and reflecting how interesting it is that I made the convention a good experience by deciding to make it a good one, even though overall it was very disorganized, oriented at a totally different crop of young blood #influencers I have/had no interest in, and ended up giving half its attendees covid. I'm looking forward to this year's, I already bought my ticket, just went for a creator pass this time because the industry only panels were basically all meant for corporations to figure out how to buy influencers, which I have no interest in from either side of it.

I might actually be able to share a hotel room with a sort-of-friend who I met through Vidcon Online in the years the convention was canceled, which would be awesome...it was nice not having to worry about the kids at all for a week (other than hoping matthew was paying enough attention to keep them from getting hurt), but got a little lonely for sure.

And hey, even if it turns out exactly like last vidcon does, that's okay, I had a good time...otherwise, I have six months (well, five, now) left to try to grow my audience (yes, surely THIS is the year, the 15 years I created content prior to this one were just practice runs 😏 ) and if nothing else, maybe some of the other creators I talked to briefly will remember me, and that's a little bit of an in!
